Programming Project Guidelines

We have prepared some useful stylistic guidelines for programming projects. Our submission software enforces some of these guidelines automatically, using the style61b program, which you can also run separately. Here is a sample project solution from a previous term, with its project handout. Things were a bit different then. Testing was "by hand", controlled from the makefile, rather than using JUnit.
